does it come rwd?

Drag coefficient of .16 dam!

(Update: The car reportedly has anti-lock brakes, stability control and airbags. According to Canadian Driver, "Volkswagen says the One-Liter Car is as safe as a GT sports car registered for racing. With the aid of computer crash simulations, the car was designed with built-in crash tubes, pressure sensors for airbag control and front crumple zones.")

does it come rwd?

Even if it was rwd, 8.5hp wont exactly spin tires.

Looks like the engine is in the back.

Wheel fitment failure. :)

Whatchu talking yo? It's tucking the whole rear wheel.

It's made of carbon fiber which means if you are in a crash, the car will disintegrate, but you will be unharmed. It's lik ein Formula1 where the driver hits the wall at 200mph and walks away, the F1 cars are made of CF and other composites that absorb all the impact so that the driver does not. I have no doubt that this thing is very safe.

what the hell is that thing. wouldnt even set foot in it. be too scared of it breaking..lol. didnt they have something similar to this thing like 5 years back?

[brndck]

ya if you read the article, they've had this concept car for a few years, but never considered implementing it till the cost of carbon fiber came down a bit.

[Quail]

Looks like something from Ridge Racer 4!!
